SCRIPTURE: Psalm (NIV) 100:4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. 5 For the LORD is good and his love endures for ever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.
OBSERVATION: God’s faithfulness is as eternal as God. It will continue “through all generations.” When He blesses, He is being faithful. And when He punishes,
People in heaven will sing of God’s faithfulness. They will rejoice in His faithfulness to apply the death of His Son, Jesus to cover all the sins for which they have repented! They will rejoice in His faithfulness!
People in hell will also have a fresh appreciation for God’s faithfulness. God was truthful when He said the wages of sin is death. God was faithful when He warned them of the torment of hell. They will have a new appreciation for God’s faithfulness when they look around and cannot find some of their partners in sin. Their partners had repented, asked and received God’s forgiveness. God was faithful to “forgive their sins and cleanse them from all unrighteousness!” (1John 1:9) They will appreciate God’s faithfulness when they see people who claimed to have repented but did not make Jesus LORD of their lives and continued to live as though sin did not matter.
APPLICATION: God is faithful to Himself. He is a truth=speaker! He is faithful to His Word. My faith comes as I hear what God is saying to me. (Romans 10:17)
It is so important that I learn to hear HIS voice. He does not promise to do everything I think He should do. He loves me and wants our relationship to grow, so I must listen to what He says to Leon. I can count on His faithfulness to His word! Ministry activity should not be determined by a brain-storming time to consider what we can do for the Lord, but a time of hearing God tell us what He wants to do and how we can be a part of what He is doing!
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I counted on your faithfulness when I made Jesus the Lord of my life, and I count on your faithfulness every day.
